Beverage Server of the Month


In each issue GOLFViews will interview some of the people who make those long rounds in the sun more bearable, the Beverage Cart Driver. We see them every time we play so we thought it would be fun to get a glimpse at the game from their perspective. If you know someone you think would like to be featured in this section please call 303-797-8700.

1. How long have you been driving the beverage cart?
About a month and a half.

2. What attracted you to this job and how did you get it?
I didn't have much luck finding a position in my field after earning my Bachelors of Art degree so I decided to try the golf course. My friend is manager of the Red Canyon Grille and hired me on the spot. I have enjoyed working here since.

3. Do you play golf. If so, how would you describe your game, and what is your handicap?
I have just started playing golf and it has already consumed me. I am determined to master the game.

4. Why do you like the game of golf?
Golf is healthy for your body, mind, and spirit. There is nothing more satisfying than being outdoors with your friends building relationships and improving your mental focus and athleticism.

5. What is your favorite aspect of the game?
My favorite aspect of the game is quite simply being outdoors at Redlands Mesa. This is one of the most beautiful places in the world.

6. Please share a memorable, funny or interesting experience you've had on the job.
My first day on the job I was driving over the 3rd hold, when out of no where I saw this bob cat come flying over the green with breakfast in its mouth! We have a lot of wild life in this area including a lots of rabbits and family of bob cats.

7. What is the most used phase, saying or line you hear on the course?
"Where have you been?" And "We are so glad to see you!" are my two most popular phrases.

8. If you could give one piece of advice to a new comer in your profession, what would it be?
Learn the course back and front because you will be asked questions. Be sincere about keeping the guys hydrated and happy, and be serious about etiquette. You will make life long friends if you can be friendly and follow these simple steps.
